20+ years as a personal trainer.
One thing that has been clear since day one is that clients who workout in the morning are more consistent.
There are a ton of factors that play into this and I know not everyone can workout in the morning (there are a lot of days I can’t myself), HOWEVER, I believe there is something we can all learn from this…
Willpower is an exhaustible resource. As the day goes on after dealing with kids, work, etc and making thousands of tiny decisions, our willpower runs out.
This is one of the reasons why people tend to eat worse later in the day.
With any habit when possible, we’re going to generally be better at executing if we do it earlier in the day before we run out of steam.
Moral of the story…
If you want to increase your likelihood of success, get it done early, regardless if we’re talking about going to the gym, going for a walk, prepping healthy snacks, etc.
